git-worktrees

Git worktrees create isolated workspaces to develop features in parallel without impacting the main repository. Each worktree shares the same repository but maintains an independent working directory for safe experimentation.

Using git worktrees provides per-worktree environments that avoid conflicts during concurrent work. Each worktree gets its own environment configurations, enabling deterministic parallel feature development while preserving mainline integrity.

Directory selection for git worktrees prioritizes existing hidden directories first, then checks CLAUDE.md preferences, and finally prompts the user. This deterministic selection process ensures safe and predictable worktree placement.

Git worktrees support optional setup commands for common languages during creation. This enables per-worktree environment configurations to be established automatically, ensuring each isolated workspace is ready for development.

Ignore verification is part of the worktree creation process. The system performs safety checks to ensure deterministic setup, verifying that ignore configurations are properly handled before isolating feature work.

Automatic project name detection identifies the current project context to safely create isolated git worktrees. This feature, combined with directory selection priority and safety checks, ensures deterministic setup for parallel feature work.
